21st Aug 2025 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Hasn't won for nearly three years but he's often placed and was only just denied over 2m1f here in June, though he has to be forgiven a below-par run when well behind Stinginhisstep over C&D last month; could place again, with Brian Hughes taking over from a claimer, if back on song. |

20th Jul 2025 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Went down fighting when beaten a head off today's mark here (2m1f, good) last month, his second run after a layoff, and will be fine over today's longer trip; featured prominently in calculations. |
4/1 |

2nd 8 |
24th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
C&D winner (2022, no win since) who was second twice here last summer; shaped as though the run might have been needed when finishing sixth of ten on reappearance over C&D (good) 20 days ago; on a competitive mark and likely to be all the sharper for that. |

13th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Has won three times here, including over C&D; may have needed the run after a break when seventh of nine finishers over C&D (good) nine days ago; not out of this. |

4th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Has won three times here, including over C&D; below par on her last two starts of last season; yet to win when fresh but has run well after a break; on a competitive mark if she is ready. |

17th Oct 2023 Good 2m 5f 163y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Doubled his hurdling tally at Worcester (2m4f, good) in July and is now only 2lb above that mark but has become inconsistent this year and others in this line-up appeal more. |
16/1 |
|
6th 6 |
24th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 114y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Would have won easier at Worcester (2m4f, good) but for some premature easing on the run-in but he went out like a light next time at Uttoxeter; usually consistent in the main and could bounce back from that. |
12/1 |
|
8th 2 |
30th Aug 2023 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Generally consistent and gained a second hurdle success when overcoming premature easing at Worcester last month; 4lb higher and this looks potentially more competitive but he has to be considered again. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Has been chasing, not beaten far when third at Worcester (2m, good) in September but rather disappointing over the same C&D last time; has four wins to his name over hurdles; not ruled out. |
6/1 |
|
5th 11 |
26th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
C&D winner just over a year ago and signs of a revival with two better runs returned here of late, including when not far behind Rocks Up Late and Alshadhian last month; player if reproducing those efforts on better terms. |

16th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
AW Flat winner; only win in 14 runs over hurdles was off this mark over C&D last May (good) when wearing a hood for the first time (as well as cheekpieces); hasn't done quite as well since, with today's combination of headgear the last twice. |
16/1 |
|
6th 5 |
24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Four-time AW Flat winner who also scored in a Uttoxeter handicap hurdle (2m, good) last May and is just 1lb higher today; third at Wincanton on penultimate start was easily the best of his four efforts this autumn/winter, so he's not easy to trust. |
8/1 |

18th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 3y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Four-time AW winner and added a Uttoxeter handicap last May (2m, good); placed in a Class 4 last time at Wincanton (good to soft) so a likely contender at this level; tongue-tie is added. |

13th Apr 2023 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 5 |

Finished behind fellow maiden Gorcombe Moonshine at Exeter most recently but ran well (40-1 third) over 2m3f here in November and has place claims if back to that form. |

10th Mar 2023 Good 2m 0f 161y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Ran well from the front when third at Taunton last November but nothing like as good on only start since, at that track last month; cheekpieces worn in both of those races now left off; 0-18 in career. |
